Close-up of a gemma cup on Marchantia polymorpha. #liverwort #gemmae #macrophotography #macro

Common liverwort (Marchantia polymorpha) growing on the shady side of my house. The little cups are filled with wafer-shaped asexual buds called gemmae that get dispersed by rain droplets. The thallus is currently sending up reproductive structures so stay tuned for gender reveal (species is dioecious). #liverworts #plants #botany #nature #moss
